Overview

Bigger, grittier and gutsier than Oviedo, seaside ³Ò¾±Âáó²Ô (khi-hon) – Asturias’ largest city – produces iron, steel and chemicals, and is the main loading ter­minal for Asturian coal. But ³Ò¾±Âáó²Ô has emerged like a phoenix from its industrial roots, having given itself a thorough face-lift with pedestrianised streets, parks, seafront walks, cultural attractions and lively eating, drinking and shopping scenes. It’s a surprisingly engaging city, and a party and beach hot spot too, with endless summer entertainment. Though it’s no quaint Asturian fishing port, ³Ò¾±Âáó²Ô sure knows how to live.
